Language Science Press and Knowledge Unlatched cooperate

Based on its global network of over 380 scholarly libraries, KU will expand to language institutes in order to secure the publication of around 30 high quality linguistic monographs per year from 2018 onwards. This is following up on an initial grant from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).

“Knowledge Unlatched has developed into one of the most innovative and, at the same time, most stable initiatives in Open Access,” said Prof. Stefan Müller, who founded Language Science Press in 2014 together with Prof. Martin Haspelmath. “We are happy about the secure and sustainable funding that the KU model will provide to our discipline.”

“I am looking forward to developing our model further for Language Science Press and I am excited about the reaction in the scholarly world,“ said Dr. Sven Fund, Managing Director of Knowledge Unlatched. “It is our joint aim to make Open Access sustainable, and Language Science Press’ ambitious programme will give us particular momentum towards this.”
